Time to Shine!
October 17, 2008chrissaire 13 Comments »Finally after over two months of sending out my resume and cover letter to prospective employers regardless of whether or not they are hiring someone, I finally got my first job here in the United States. The last months (or even year) has been a tough time for the American economy. And the domino effect of the economic meltdown left small and big businesses laying off workers. As a result, competition gets tougher in ones hunt for a living.
This is no time to be picky. In my part I thought I just need to be part of the flow of the stream of professionals. And once I am there, I will go with the flow wherever the current will take me. Inside me I thought I just need to be a part of a stable company. Now my hope is realized- thanks to the help of my husband. Now the fruit of my hardwork (and crying nights) is here. I got a job at the Lakewood Ranch Holiday Inn.
In a place that relied primarily on tourism, it is important for me to be in a Hotel Industry. And this is no ordinary hotel. With my acceptance, it means that I am just part of the number 1 best Holiday Inn in North America. How cool is that? Now the challenge is up to me. I have to live up to the hotel’s reputation and at the same time keep a lasting impression of how great I can be when given the chance to shine in the room.
Thank God for this marvelous blessing!

i know for a fact that it won’t be hard for you to get the job. and i know that you can do good in whatever duties will lay on your shoulders. you are hardworking, backed by experience and has a big smile that will make everyone who sees it feel good. that alone, you have sold out the company already.
congrats manang ror and enjoy your job!

Congrats on your new job Ate Ror! You were right upon saying that this is not the time to be picky…We all have to start somewhere regardless of our professional qualifications. From there, we can start proving to ourselves and to the world that we are just as good di ba. Char.com!

hi, my sis. Good to know that you feel better with a job now. I know how it is important to anyone to be in the global economy process, and that despite the economy crisis coming from people who thought they can earn money without working…the real workers are here now to help understanding that everything comes as a result of efforts, … and pain sometimes.
Good luck
